Thank you to TheHoodenSiren for giving me a question.
How is an Omega chosen?
Well it's a little complicated actually. The universe is made of energy and energy can't be created or destroyed only transformed. Magic is all around the world and it is in everyone. Some are just born to show that magic. And some are chosen to hold the responsibility of being an Omega because with great power comes great responsibility. Sometimes the powers you have reflect the person you are.
In other times, it can be inherited. Omegas can sometimes be inherited via recessive gene. Omegas can give birth to children called Deltas who inherit half of the gene and can pass it but it doesn't appear very often.
However not all Omegas embrace themselves and not all Omegas use their powers for the benefit of the world. Some use it for their own selfish purposes.
And once every few centuries, a team of these Omegas, will rise to the occasion and defend the world from those who are willing to risk their lives and powers to protect the innocent.
More will be explained in Restoration.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. If anyone has any questions about Legacy or Restoration, please leave it in in the reviews or PM me. I will answer them in the upcoming chapters.
